    Cons: Not weather sealed. Aperture ring could use a more solid \"click\" as it can easily be moved accidentally.

    Pros: Sharp. Good IQ for the price.

    Summary: To those who complain about no F stop marks. You can\'t have marked f stops on a variable aperture lens. Think about it. You set f3.5 at 55mm then zoom to 200mm, aperture is now 4.8. So unless you find some way of linking the zoom ring with the aperture ring (adds complexity, cost, and another point of failure), there is no point in having a marked ring.

    Cons: That long lens stretching out looks a bit weird Stupid lenshood ..should be rubber foldable Zoom a bit loose No diaphram F stop number Missing a bit of bokeh effect

    Pros: Optical Quality is impressive for the price Suitable autofocus for sports Not too heavy for handheld shooting colours and contrast beautiful in full daylight Little color difraction and barrel distortion

    Summary: An absolute tool for shooting medium to long distance Not to be missed for the price

    Cons: Mechanical zoom operation its slow, hard to get quick zoom, no inner focus operation,no weather sealed, aperture ring without f marks, 62mm filter size, close focus only 1.1m , hight price.

    Pros: Fast and silent autofocus,good image stabilization,super optical capabilities (colors+contrast),good zoom range 55-200mm,no zoom creep,lightweight

    Summary: Good zoom lens for landscape and travel, but for action photography get the 50-150mm f2,8 version.

    Cons: Another horrible Fuji lens hood, all plastic and scrapes jarringly going on and coming off. No focus limiter. No tripod collar or provision made to use one - hangs front-heavy and uncomfortable off my xe2s when tripod mounted; Not ideal. Auto focus is quite fast, but noisy. Image Stabiliser easily switched off accidentally. This is a slow lens and not compatible with Fujis teleconvertors, although optically you’d definitely get away with using one.

    Pros: Small and light for a lens of this type. Build is very solid and I’ve found the lens dependable. Image Stabiliser is very good indeed - 1/10 sec hand-held, indoors, at 200mm and still an impressive number of sharp frames! Image quality is a revelation after a Canon 70-200mm f4 IS usm. Very sharp, high-resolution results. Auto focus is reasonably fast, but perhaps more importantly very accurate. Continuous autofocus is unusable, however and if an instant lock is important to you then it is probably best to look elsewhere - this lens is more suited to a more sedate style of photography. Even at the long end the results are impressive; In fact, I think the lens is under-priced. I use it constantly, and even now it is capable of surprising me with exceptionally crisp, clear results. If you want this type of lens and can’t stretch to the 50-140mm it’s really your only choice, and as a long time Canon user (L -Series) I’ve never seen a Canon lens come anywhere near this. One other thing: this lens isn’t weather sealed, but I have been caught out in torrential downpours more times than I can count and despite the lens (and camera) being absolutely soaked everything still works perfectly. I have a great fondness for equipment that keeps going no matter what.

    Summary: A better lens than you’d expect for the money. Weaker at 200mm, but not by much; More than usable throughout it’s range and something of a bargain.

    Cons: Not very bright, but stabilizer helps.

    Pros: Compact, lightweight. Excellent optical quality from 55mm to 135mm, good quality at 200mm.

    Summary: An excellent lent, strongly recommended.
